Finding

Title

Failure to Review for Suitability of Application of Safety-Related Relays Installed Beyond Their Service Life

Description

The inspectors identified a finding of very-low safety significance, and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to assure measures were established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment and processes that were essential to the safety-related functions of structures, systems and components. Specifically, the licensee failed to review for suitability of application of safety-related Agastat and General Electric relays that had exceeded their service life, a condition non-conforming to their design basis, to justify their continued service considering in-service deterioration. The licensee previously entered this finding into the CAP, and completed corrective actions to replace or evaluate some relays and implemented a program to address the remaining relays in a timely manner The finding was determined to be more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the issue had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, these safety-related relays were installed in protective circuits such as reactor protection system, etc., and their failure could impact the proper operation of these protective schemes. The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding as it was not reflective of the licensees current performance.
